South Carolina at North Carolina State (-4)
Anybody have a feel on this game? Only thing I thought of was teasing USC to +10.5. South Carolina is pretty terrible offensively while NC State has it all offensively (for the most part). Defensively, I think NC State should be better this year with 7 returning starters and another year under Tom O'Brien. South Carolina's will be good as well but I think its a push at worst for NC State

no lean
lots of questions on both sidesComment -
questions about NC State? They seem pretty solid to me, at least offensively. Biggest question mark is Garcia (USC QB) to meComment -
stay away and enjoy the first game of the season with about 12-15 beers
I know I willComment -
gotta have action...... with about 12-15 beers. Especially since Friday is my day off from school and work
Comment -
in that case I'd go with State.
no way in hell my money gonna be resting on Garcia's shoulders....
but stranger things have happened.
Spurrier might pull out some super duper special trick plays out his ass, you never knowComment -
NC State ML seems like the safe play to me. I like them to win by far but not sure by over 3Comment -
no clue
will just get a good number at game timeComment -
how? Even action for the most partComment -
Fish is tutoring him now.
he;s beating the numbers at matchyComment -
UNDER the total is a solid playComment -
under? Wilson from NC State is a solid QB with a lot of weapons. 2 solid defenses thoughComment -
gametime closing in!!! Anybody else have a lean? So far I'm liking the Pack on the MLComment -
Amazing how one year makes such a difference. This line would be reversed. Its tough call, no lean

South Carolina lost on the road last year at Vandy to open the season I believe (Thursday night game on ESPN IIRC)Comment -
No.. im talking these two teams only last year. Probably a prediction i saw, i cant find score from last yearOriginally posted by TPowell

where was that game? South Carolina flopped last year IMO and probably won't get any better this year unless Garcia becomes God. I LOVE Wilson (QB) from NC State and he has a lot of talent around him.Comment -

ugh no.. it was Miami (OH)Originally posted by TPowellComment -
I meant overall on the year guyComment -
they got beat by Vandy on a weeknight primetime game sometime last yearComment -
also Wilson wasnt even starting at QB then.Comment -
Following week Vandy won by 7.Comment -
exactly, thought that was the first week. It was a weeknight game thoughComment -
another interesting observation I made was that South Carolina plays AT GEORGIA next week. Not sure that would qualify as a sandwich game though.Comment -
I think the under is the best pick in this oneComment -
They play a big rival UGA away the following week. OuchComment -
South Carolina also lost its leading rusher (a guy with 500 yards and 3 TD's?) and leading receiver (McKinley). Will USC have any type of running game? If not, they're relying on a headcase (talented one but a lunatic) on the road in a prime-time game.Comment -
Not really a sandwich game. If these are two teams that are even on defense, I would be cautious in putting so much confidence in NCSTATE. Spurrier plays with no reservations. Could be interesting.Originally posted by TPowell
Sounds like a sucker play. Televised game, Spurrier Stanky Stanky StankyComment -
yeah but NC State should be light years better than USC. USC lost its entire running game (it sucked last year) and its best WR. NC State has Wilson back at QB who is a dual threat (17 TD and 1 INT). They lost a lot in the running game as well, but they return basically everybody from the passing gameComment -
South Carolina will be better than people think. But I think this will go underComment -
Wilson seriously is a hellofa QB, especially since he was a freshman. If he can stay healthy, he will turn some heads down the road. I'm on NCST for a bit.Comment -
He turned heads last year. The problem this year is the lines wont favor NC State like last year. This was the moneymaking team last year along with WSU. They were great against the spread catching double digits againt ACC opponents. Not this yearOriginally posted by gremlinComment -
guy is still a stud with all of his playmakers coming back, who caresComment -
i want to bet it but how do you bet a game that one team won 30+ the year beforeComment
